Easy Kir Royale
The Kir Royale is a delicious and easy-to-make French classic cocktail. It's a spin-off of the Kir cocktail, swapping out white wine for Champagne or sparkling wine. Its red color and fizzy charm make it a great choice for celebrations or enjoying a drink.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons crème de cassis ( to taste) divided
- 12 ounces cold Champagne or sparkling wine , divided
- A few raspberries for garnish
Instructions
- Pour 1 tablespoon of cassis into each of 2 Champagne flute glasses, and then fill each glass with 6 ounces of Champagne.
- Top off with a few fresh raspberries. Serve immediately.
Notes
How to Store
Kir Royale is best served fresh immediately after making it. However, if you want to make it beforehand, you can prepare the ingredients separately and combine them before serving.
Make-Ahead
To prepare beforehand, chill the Champagne or sparkling wine and the crème de cassis separately in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, pour 1 tablespoon of crème de cassis into each Champagne flute glass, then add the chilled Champagne or sparkling wine and top off with fresh raspberries. This will ensure that the bubbles are still effervescent and the flavors are fresh.
Notes:
For a variation: replace the crème de cassis with raspberry liqueur, such as Chambord to make a Kir Imperial.
